Day 32
Who: Astor Bennett and Laura Moon
What: Astor's not feeling well and can't figure out the thermometer
When: Day 32, morning
Where: B214, Astor's room
Status: Incomplete
Rating: G

When Laura agreed to come over and help her out, Astor shut her journal, tucked it neatly between the mattresses and rolled over in bed, groaning and clutching the teddy bears (one with a hot water bottle inside it, as per Rose's suggestion) tightly. Her eyes fluttered shut and she furrowed her brow against an uncomfortable flop of protest from her stomach after having rolled over. She really hoped that her bellyache was just that. That perhaps she'd indulged in too much sugar against Sam, Sam Winchester's advice. At least if it was that, she'd feel better sooner and she could play Candyland with Gray.

Being stuck in bed was sucky already, but being stuck in bed without Cody to talk to or Mom to make her feel better? That sucked the big one. It was almost as bad as being sick when she was at the neighbor's house cuz Mom and Dex both had to work at night. As far as Astor was concerned, there was nothing worse than being sick and not being at home. It made it easier for her that her room here looked identical to the one at home, but still. It wasn't home.

A knock on the door made Astor open her eyes again. Her mom would kill her for not getting up to look through the peep hole to check who it was, but she didn't want to move and it was probably Laura, anyway. "Come on in," she called out miserably, closing her eyes again.

Laura seemed a little confused - judging by the way she reiterated Astor's question and then looked over at the mirror as if she wasn't quite sure what Astor was talking about. Astor furrowed her brow slightly. Didn't Laura know that she looked like somebody punched her in both eyes...?

But, in any case, she laughed a little and shook her head, telling Astor that she shouldn't be sorry and that she hadn't been rude. Astor tended to disagree, because she knew better than to ask questions like that so out of the blue, but if Laura wasn't mad, she supposed it didn't matter much. "Sure, I like secrets," Astor said with a grin. "I'm really good at keeping 'em," she added.

When Laura leaned closer to her, Astor noticed the perfume. It did not smell very nice, she didn't think. Trying not to wrinkle her nose - because that would be rude - she opened her mouth for the thermometer, having watched the way Laura used it. She thought maybe she'd be able to do it herself if there was a next time.

The smell was giving her a little bit of a headache, but she didn't want to hurt Laura's feelings when she was being so nice. It smelled almost medicine-y to Astor. She looked expectantly up at the other woman without opening her mouth again just yet, when she heard the thermometer beep
